Here is how you can send outbound emails from ContactHero tracked in contact history.

From your account page, configure your outbound email server. Below is an example for how to configure gmail (see notes below). Then go to any contact on contacthero.com and send them a message (+ Message). A copy of the message should be saved in ContactHero history plus it should go out in this case Gmail or whichever email server you have set. Note you can also set a time to send a message later in which case the message will show as "Pending Message QUEUED."

Gmail specific notes

The first time you do this and ContactHero signs into your gmail account, you may get an email from Google saying "Suspicious sign in prevented." In this case, you will need to go directly to https://mail.google.com and click on this link at the top of the page acknowledge that this was you, otherwise emails will not be able to go out from ContactHero.

We just completed some work to link better with Google Calendar. You can easily create push your calls, one by one or all that you create, into Google Calendar as meetings. Meetings created in Google calendar have a link back to the original call on contacthero.com. Finally, any meetings in Google Calendar will show in your Calendar on Contacthero.com.

To get started, either sign up for an account using your Google account, or if you already have an account visit your account page and click "Linking to Your Google Account"

Now you can quickly see all your calls visually by timezone. Your list of current calls is also ordered by timezone so you can immediately see which customers you should call first during the day!

The list of colors is as follows:

Timezone

UTC offset

Color

Atlantic

-4

Eastern

-5

Central

-6

Mountain

-7

Pacific

-8

Alaska

-9

Hawaii

-10

The timezone is inferred from the area code of the phone number of the contact that is linked to call. Calls to 800; 866; 877; and 888 always show in your timezone. This works only on calls logged to US and Canadian phone numbers.
